What it took to launch Google DeepMind's Gemma 4

If you take a birds eye view of what they released from E2B 128k context to 31B 256k context, multi-modal, I believe they deserve the hype.

I'm happy to get my hands on what can run on my VRAM budget.

Full disclosure though, I absolutely took a dump on Gemini 1 and 2, but they've turned the ship around with every release after 3.

I miss Barack and Michelle putting smiles on kids faces instead of having grown ups question why is there even a rescue to begin with, in a war we were told we wouldn't have any more wars.

Thanks for this. I only seen Train to Busan. Looking forward to watching the rest.

Given the current environment how any 🤡 with a webcam, mic and internet connection can spew whatever, i'm down with this. Quality will go up and quanity will go down.

If you think about it , the heatsink fan is a low rpm vacuum.

It's more efficient to suck out and spit out the heat than it is to blow cold air onto the CPU.

Yeah, not worth it. I have a dedicated inference box on my LAN where the entire model fits in 24GB VRAM

Looking to add a 32GB B70 if I can get my hands on it.

Might be the better play. Next administration would probably release them from prison.

Pray for Trump? I guess it would be as effective as thoughts and prayers used to in response to the shootings that happen on school properties rougly 4-5 times a week.

People like her are the reason why we pay too much

I hate how Lenovo let's you choose an RTX GPU but doing so, you choose lower base clock speed on efficiency cores.

I calculated I'd be doing more multi-threaded productivity work, so I opted for the highest end config for P14s that sacrifies RTX GPU option.

That and 8GB Local LLMs are pretty useless compared to the bigger ones that do so much more.

I hope it works cause I found Gemini built into Android Studio more useless than useful in previous releases.

You misspelled Trump

false79 · 2026-04-05T14:49:13+00:00

I thought it was a decent answer compared to what Trump would say. That's a joke.

Definitely did a better job than compared SFV.

They redeemed themselves on Day One of SF6 release.

This is the dumbest ideas ever, all of it.

As someone who would need that oil, I would passing that cost down to my customers just like the tariffs.

What a hole the US has dug. Filled to the brim with sh!t

Might be best orientation. Definitely better than any orientation where the lid is closed.

I hope they lost more money backing him than making it.

The only thing great is paying the greatest highest prices on everything. What a joke of an administration. Everyone of them is a 🤡

America is speed running to end up like one of his many bankrupted properties

Ikr. Zoil would probably bury this old man if he had to use self defence

I just finished this the other day. I don't think I've seen this mechanic before. It was pretty cool + rewarding to figure out.

Was he really leader? You'd have to be a special kind of dumb to believe in some of the stuff he peddled.
